Faculty Spotlight

Associate Professor of History

"I want my students to recognize that they can marry their interest in history with active political engagement in their roles as citizens. We are learning about the past to become more engaged citizens of today."

Assistant Professor of History

"I see Carter as a watershed moment in the evolution of the human rights movement. He didn't invent human rights, but he made that arguably the centerpiece of his effort to redefine U.S. foreign policy."
